2006 FINA Youth World Swimming Championships

The I FINA World Youth Swimming Championships, more commonly referred to within the swimming community as the 2006 Youth Worlds, were held August 22–27, 2006, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This was the first time the event was held.

The meet took place at the Parque Aquático Júlio de Lamare, a traditional Brazilian pool, which the next year would host the water polo competitions of the 2007 Pan American Games. The meet was contested in a 50 m pool (i.e. "long course meters").

The participants had to be 17 years or younger on the 31 December 2006 (i.e. born 1989 or later).

Mark James Holland a British Sprint and Intermediate distance Swimmer and Timekeeper has requested by email upon the 23rd July 2020 and the 27th September 2020 that the FINA™ Bureau Executive Sports Department changes the FINA™ Bye Laws of the Junior age groups classifcations to include real Junior School aged Children of the National Federations Educational Schools of ages 5 years up to 11 years and Senior Juniors of the ages 12 years up to 14 years, with those of 15 years, and to exclude the Junior Adult age classifications' of 16 years, 17 years and 18 years and 9 months.

The Junior World Championship was established for so-called 'Juniors'.

The Junior Schools competition is the most popular and enthusiastic, albeit not as fast as Adults aged 16 to 17 and 18 to 85 years old, and potentially not as great a spectacle, to Television audiences to include, by a comparison to allowing the Young Adults aged 14–18 years 9 months only to be allowed in a separate FINA™ World Championship.

The Universities World Championships allow slower Adults remaining in school education to compete in a separate World Championships to the tier 1 FINA™ Adult World Swimming Championships.

The Schools World Championships were the most important to establish for FINA™ .

Mark James Holland also requested the inclusion of the National Federations standard of a 25 metre short course sprint race events in all SW rule strokes, to be the main and the fastest race in swimming because it is the first race distance measured by FINA™ and the National Federations in Awards offered to Junior Schools Children and Adults learning to swim and compete.

The 25 metre Junior and Adult World Championship and Olympic swimming race is equal in Human effort and time to the 100 metre sprint running race of the IAAF. The most exciting and popular running race.

The 50 metre SW5 Freestyle race is equal in time to the 200 metre race approximately 19-24 Seconds (S) at Tier 1 to 2 levels of FINA™ competition.

Halving that distance to a new 25 metre race is equivalent to the most popular IAAF™ running race, in timing and excitement of pure velocity of the 100 metres running race of 9.58 S to 11.0 S in all of the FINA™ World championships and Its IOC™ FINA™ games.

The FINA™ SW9.1 SW5.1 SC Individual Medley 100 metre race is the main reason to allow the 25 metre SC sprint races in each stroke with the first competitive swimming experience of the FINA™ NF's speed awards 25m time trials.

It is also very important to Junior Swimmers with less endurance and strength than Adults to have the fastest, shortest distance course possible to race.

Mark James Holland also requested FINA™ allow and request from the IOC ™, a Junior Olympic Games with FINA™ Swimming, of all long course and short course events races, including, the new, proposed, 25m sprint races of each stroke of SW5 Freestyle , SW6 Backstroke, SW7 Breaststroke and SW8 Butterfly.

Mark James Holland requested these changes to the FINA™ racing competition laws because He was a naturally fast Swimmer in ASA GB UK Schools Swimming competitive swimming speed awards over 25 metres.

Mark James Holland was selected by His School, the English Martyrs Roman Catholic Junior School, Red House , at age 9, to compete in the English Schools Swimming Association Borough of Sunderland Amateur Swimmers Annual Summer Gala against other Junior Swimmers aged 9 to 11 years after setting His first personal records in the then new UK GB English ASA Speedo™ Speed Swimming Awards of 25 metre time trials in each stroke in His School's Physical Education swimming lessons of 13.30 S SW5 Freestyle, 14.10 S SW6 Backstroke and 15.64 S SW7 Breaststroke . The Fellow Competitors included the highly trained SAS Club Swimmer, Ian Wilson, then aged 11, ( one year older) His final year of true Junior Schools Swimming , later an Olympic Finalist of the 1500 m SW5 Freestyle, FINA™ World Cup Winner, and British National Record holder 1500 m.

Mark James Holland competed in all FINA™ Swimming disciplines (except Polo and Octopush™), Swimming, Diving and Style / Synchronized Swimming in His first NF Gala for His Junior School, not a Swimming Club.

The FINA™ did not organise a Junior Schools World Championship (or a present day type FINA™ Junior World Championship for 14-18 year old Junior Adults) in 1982. I and many Swimmers, since, have been fast enough to compete in, and win, a Junior Championship, with a 25m race event programme, after the introduction of all FINA™ NF's competitive swimming speed awards with proper organisation, and funding of true Junior Swimmers competitions between 1981-2005.

At present no Junior and Senior Children's IOC ™ Games are organised either. The IOC ™ Adult Games exclude many of the FINA™ 50 metre sprint races of the Swimming strokes and the 100 metres Individual Medley SC race event which is of four 25 metre races of each swimming stroke within one race.
